BREAKING NEWS- sources inside the investigation of both the murder of Morgan Dana Harrington and the abduction with the intent to defile of 2nd year student at UVA, Hannah Graham have confirmed to S. Christina Stoy, Editor in Chief of www.blinkoncrime.com that DNA belonging to Jesse Leroy Matthew, Jr matches the DNA link to that of a wanted suspect in the Harrington murder.

Further tests are being conducted to connect Mr. Matthew to a 2005 Fairfax sexual assault as well.

This is a developing story, please check back for updates.

I've been wondering if his dad was a cab driver too? IIRC, he had quite a few traffic issues in the court records.

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

Morgan Harrington and the Fairfax 2005 attack: "a forensic connection between the two unsolved cases, but the sources said DNA evidence links them."

And now forensic connection between Morgan and Hannah's suspect.

Sounds like the Fairfax victim could be a valuable witness at Matthew's trial.

I agree Brandi. Has the Fairfax rape victim been identified?

Help Us Catch a KillerUnknown Offender Linked by DNA in Two Separate Cases

06/13/12

On a Saturday night in October 2009, college student Morgan Harrington left a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and disappeared. It would be several months before her body was discovered in a field about 10 miles away.

DNA recovered in the Harrington case was linked to an unknown offender in a September 2005 sexual assault in Fairfax City. A 26-year-old woman was attacked at night while walking home from a grocery store. The offender was scared away by a passerby—but the victim got a good look at him, enabling a Fairfax City Police artist to produce a sketch of the attacker.

“It was a remarkable break to get the DNA match,” said FBI Special Agent Jane Collins. The forensic evidence linked the two cases, so now we have a face to put with the suspect in the Harrington case. The suspect is described as an African-American male with black hair and facial hair (at the time of the 2005 attack). He is approximately 6 feet tall and was believed to be between the ages of 25 and 35 years old at the time of the Fairfax City assault.

Gil and Dan Harrington, the parents of Morgan Harrington, talked to WDBJ7's Jean Jadhon on Monday. Earlier Monday, Virginia State Police confirmed a forensic link between Jesse Matthew, the suspect in the disappearance of Hannah Graham, and the Morgan Harrington case.

Last week’s arrest of Jesse L. Matthew Jr., on charges of abducting Hannah Graham, “provided a significant break in this case with a new forensic link” to the Harrington case, state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said in a news release Monday.

Details of the type of forensic evidence — which suggests that the same person was involved in the Harrington and Graham cases — were not immediately clear.

“There is still a great deal of work to be done in regards to this investigation,” Geller said.

But the news gave hope to Gil and Dan Harrington of Roanoke County, who have been waiting for the past five years for an arrest of the person responsible for their daughter’s death.

“We’re relieved that justice for Morgan may be coming,” Dan Harrington said Monday. He declined to elaborate on what the Harringtons have been told by police, saying, “I think the focus needs to be on trying to find Hannah Graham.”

Well, it looks like most of the tweet I posted ended up bolded. While I feel JM should have his day in court, I am currently stopping short with having "empathy" for him at this time, given the information we've been given so far. Yes, due process. I'm wondering if folks like JM's pastor is part of the reason there may be at least three crimes against young women he's been linked to through DNA? JMHO

This is what got me:

It just irks me, to put it mildly. Just what is it we're supposed to try and understand about JM and what he is currently in jail for, awaiting charges, after being tied to three cases against young women? In the case of Morgan Harrington, it's reported she had "shattered bones" . She was found murdered. Hannah Graham still missing. Then there's the Fairfax case. What am I supposed to feel empathetic toward JM for? Grrr.... rant over
